Stretch overflow is not working in Jasper Reports with PrintOrder Horizontal

Question

Am using JasperReports with Struts2 to generate a pdf of comparision report. Am doing printOrder="Horizontal" to show comparision column wise.

In detail -

<detail>
    <band height="1200">
                <textField isStretchWithOverflow="true">
                <reportElement style="Serif_Normal" x="0" y="900" width="369" height="20" positionType="Float"/>
                <textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String">
                <![CDATA[$F{PROVFORDRAININGSEDIMENTS}]]>
                </textFieldExpression>
             </textField>
        </band>
</detail>

But isStretchWithOverflow not working here? texts are still overlapping. is it because printOeder is set to Horizontal?

Meybe this question [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10412495/stretch-a-row-with-data-overflow-while-having-multiple-rows-in-a-single-band) will help you. I faced the same problem almost a year ago. — Rachcha, Mar 16 '13 at 11:46

When printOrder is set to Horizontal, text fields will not stretch. This is because JasperReports strives to align each record across the columns in a report, and allowing them to stretch could cause subsequent data to be misaligned.
